Amity Business School organises National Seminar on “Entrepreneurship Development in a Globalised Economy”

A National Seminar titled “Entrepreneurship Development in a Globalised Economy” was organised on 27th Oct. 2016 by Amity Business School, Amity University Gwalior.

A nation cannot aspire to become a developed one without having an entrepreneurial environment. It requires a continuous supply of innovative, creative, and enterprising people. In fact, everyone has potential to excel but only some are able to do so while many can not and this leads to many socio-economic problems such as poverty, illiteracy, and unemployment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to create an environment of entrepreneurship (a process of transforming passion/ideas into business reality), self-employment, and enterprise creation providing solution to unemployment and blocking sustainable economic growth. The objective of the National Seminar was to throw light on the entrepreneurship development opportunities & a challenges in today’s dynamic global business environment.
